SYMPTOMS

If automatic synchronization in PAC Display is setup for controller time to PC time, (Configure→Runtime, Control Engine tab, Auto Synchronization box checked), and the time setup is for 12 noon or 12 midnight, then synchronization is done 12 hours from the desired time.

For example, if synchronization is set to 12:00 am everyday, instead of synchronizing at midnight, synchronization occurs at noon.
